Hello,
I really enjoyed your reading at the Thin Air Festival with Red River College.

I am a student of Karen Press for her Creative Writing class. I need to interview an author for one of my assignments. I am sure you have been contacted already by some of my classmates. I was wondering if I would be able to conduct an email interview with you that I would be able to publish on my blog. Would that be okay with you by chance? If you could let me know in the next day or two, I would certainly appreciate it. If you are able, please provide me with your email information so I may send you the questions. Thank you so much for your anticipated cooperation.
Kindly,
Anrea Zaslovazaslov@gmail.com

Thank you again.

Hi there — I just read Brushfires in ‘The Walrus’ and couldn’t help think of John Donne — various verses from various poems — but particularly from ‘The Canonization’ (below).

Brushfires is quite a terrible beauty — Thank you for it!

Call us what you will, we are made such by love;
Call her one, me another fly,
We are tapers too, and at our own cost die,
And we in us find th’ eagle and the dove.
The phoenix riddle hath more wit
By us; we two being one, are it.
So, to one neutral thing both sexes fit,
We die and rise the same, and prove
Mysterious by this love.
